Two black cadillacs driving in a slow paradeHeadlights shining bright in the middle of the dayOne is for his wife,The other for the woman who loved him at nightTwo black cadillacs meeting for the first time

And the preacher said he was a good man,And his brother said he was a good friendBut the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry(Bye bye, bye bye)Yeah, yeah they took turns laying a rose down,Threw a handful of dirt into the deep groundHe's not the only one who had a secret to hide(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)

Two months ago his wife called the number on his phoneTurns out, he'd been lying to both of them for oh so longThey decided thenHe'd never get away with doing this to themTwo black cadillacs, waiting for the right timeThe right time

And the preacher said he was a good man,And his brother said he was a good friendBut the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry(Bye bye, bye bye)Yeah, yeah, they took turns laying a rose downThrew a handful of dirt into the deep groundHe's not the only one who had a secret to hide(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, yeah)

It was the first and the last time they ever saw each other face to faceThey shared a crimson smile, and just walked awayAnd left the secret at the grave

And the preacher said he was a good man,And his brother said he was a good friendBut the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry(Bye bye, bye bye)They took turns laying a rose downThrew a handful of dirt into the deep groundHe's not the only one who had a secret to hide(Bye bye, bye bye, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
